I regret not having learned of Steve's imminent passing before it occured. I would have liked for him to know how much I appreciate his vision for the Letterheads and Social Media and how much it has impacted positively so many lives. No one could ask for a greater legacy. RIP Steve and prayers of healing and strength for Barb. My heart is breaking.

Sad news. All the fond memories from hundreds or, more likely, thousands of folks that have been here or met Steve in person along the way would fill a very thick book.He touched a LOT of lives along the way, that's for sure. Posts: 4084 | From: ... | Registered: Nov 1998

I never met Steve in person, but he sure gave us this great place to meet and share online and to meet some of these great people in person. The Shortreeds made a great contribution to the industry and I hope Barb takes great pride in that memory of what they created together for so many of us.

I just wish there was a "Me too" button for all the great sentiments shared by so many here.
In my heyday here at letterville, I created a headache or two for our dear mayor with my tendency to spar with OP, or by sharing the occasional pot-stirring topic...all the while and through it all I had great respect for Steve...and Barb, for founding this site, for making a place of connection here, for making a great big world seem small. A great many friends and contacts I'd never have known, if not for Steve.
So thank you, , for all you did. You are appreciated and missed.

I wonder if Steve ever imagined how many artists and sign makers that his website helped get acquainted. I for one, never got to meet Steve or Barb (yet) but have met many great people through Letterville and the Walldogs. All of this could not be possible without Steve and Barb. I am a better artist and sign maker because of his vision to connect us all through this website. I still learn because of others sharing their experiences. His Legacy will live on for years to come. Thank you from a guy who you haven't met but admired you and your contribution to our profession. My prayers to Barb and family during this time.
Sign-cerely, Steve Luck
